Maetel Legend (メーテルレジェンド, Mēteru Rejendo) is a 2000 anime OVA based on characters created by Leiji Matsumoto about how the planet La Maetelle becomes the planet Andromeda, also known as Planet Maetel ("the mechanized world"). It serves a link between Matsumoto's previous series Queen Millennia and Galaxy Express 999. The OVA and series are supposed to follow Queen Millennia chronologically, and are prequels to Galaxy Express 999.
